Hot/Cold Therapy

Hot/Cold therapy - heat or ice therapy - has been around for a long time. Hot and cold separately and together offer benefit to the Toronto chiropractic treatment plan. Both are quite beneficial when used for the right application at the right time. The key is knowing whether ice or heat is needed. * Let it to Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre to know and share!

Ice

In general, cryotherapy slows down blood circulation in an area to reduce pain and swelling after an injury. Inflammation and pain often accompany an acute injury. So in the first 72 hours after an injury, only apply ice.

Ice reduces inflammation and numbs the pain in short spurts like 10 minutes at a time once an hour. Be sure to use a towel between you and the ice pack.
